Listening to Wang Xiuling's slow story, Li Yiru was already in tears. She didn't want to lose the beautiful aunt who was like a family member she had just found.
Seeing her like this, Wang Xiuling touched her head and comforted her: "Xiao Rou, I just feel much worse. I'm not going to die soon. You don't have to worry too much."
"Besides, if you can't even see through life and death, how can you cultivate and become a true cultivator?"
Li Yiru put away her weakness and cursed herself inwardly. Aunt Xiuling hadn't done anything yet, but she was still crying here.
"Okay, I'm going to cook for Elder Feng, please pay attention." Wang Xiuling's movements were slow, but her research on cooking had reached perfection.
Li Yirou watched her every step of the way, preserving the tenderness of the meat and infusing it with the fragrance of the seasonings, giving off a rich aroma.
After the meat is roasted, cut it into slices and spread it on the rice that is almost cooked. Fry an egg on one side and place it in the center. Cover it with blanched vegetable leaves, cover the casserole, and finally simmer it together with the rice.
After taking it out of the pot, Wang Xiuling sprinkled a few black sesame seeds on it and then put it in a food box.
"Okay, Xiaorou, no one is coming to eat at noon, so you can take it to Elder Feng now."
Li Yirou made her a cup of wolfberry water and said, "Aunt Xiuling, take a rest. I'll be back soon."
.
This time, Li Yirou observed carefully and chose another path to Feng Xiaoman's mansion.
It was still the senior sister who opened the door for her. "You are here. The elder is refining the elixir. Let's go to the alchemy room and wait for her."
After passing the front hall where I delivered the meal last time, I found that there were rows of small courtyards behind it, which looked like a Hui-style villa community, exquisite and beautiful.
They walked along the cobblestone road until they reached the end, where a mountain was hidden behind thick fog.
There were caves on the mountain like grottoes. The senior sister took Li Yiru and waited at the door of the first cave.
Suddenly, a loud rumble was heard from the cave. Even the senior sister showed a look of astonishment. Then Elder Feng's voice came, "Come in."
It's soft and sticky, Li Yirou likes listening to it very much.
The senior sister took Li Yiru inside and turned a corner to reach the end. Elder Feng was sitting on the ground with a scarlet-gold alchemy furnace in front of him.
She was holding a few black pills in her hand, and it looked like they were not yet finished. Li Yiru had read in the book distributed by the sect that pills usually have a luster, and the brighter the light, the higher the grade of the pill.
There was a look of regret in Feng Xiaoman's eyes.
"You're here." She glanced at Li Yirou, who smiled at her at the right moment. "Elder Feng, Aunt Xiuling has prepared the rice and asked me to bring it over."
"Hmm." She responded softly, "Put it down."
I opened the food box and the lid of the casserole. The rice in the food box was still steaming, as if it had just been cooked.
There must be some mystery behind this food box, Li Yiru guessed. Occasionally, she could see a light flowing through the box, so it must be some kind of spiritual weapon.
"Take these useless pills and go back." Feng Xiaoman gave her some more rewards. Although Li Yiru didn't know what these useless pills were used for, she acted very surprised, thanked him and left.
“Senior Sister…”
The senior sister seemed to know what she was going to say, "No need to give it to me, the elder gave it to you, just take it."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." She smiled at her and took out a small can of prepared dandelion and rose tea from her backpack. "This is the herbal tea I picked. Please accept it, Senior Sister."
This time the little girl didn't refuse, and even showed a hint of joy, "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. I'll make some cakes for you when I have time. Goodbye, Senior Sister." Li Yirou smiled at her. The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard the word cake. "Okay, bye."
After leaving the residence of the foundation-building monks, Li Yiruo put the waste pills in her bag this time and took the same small path. She was alert and hid behind a tree when she heard any movement.
Unfortunately, he was caught by Zhao Jinfan who suddenly emerged from the bushes.
"Junior sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much. Do you have anything to give to me this time?" His smile was full of malice as he blocked her way.
Li Yiru didn't want to expose her space in the residence of the foundation-building cultivator before, for fear that she would be seen and have her space taken away.
The space has now taken root in her sea of consciousness. If it is taken away, she might be driven crazy or even die from the shock, so she must be careful.
She looked around and saw only Zhao Jinfan. Even his two companions were nowhere to be seen. They were far away from the residence of the foundation-building cultivators. Li Yiru made up her mind, took two steps back, turned around and hid in the woods.
She used all her strength to run away quickly. At the moment of turning the corner, she quickly slipped into the space and threw the things in the blind spot of Zhao Jinfan's sight, leaving only one of the ten useless pills in her hand.
He only stayed there for about a second. After leaving the space, he ran two more steps and was blocked by him.
"Senior Brother, Elder Feng gave me a useless pill..." Not wanting to be beaten, Li Yirou took the initiative to hand over the thing.
But before she could finish, Zhao Jinfan's face was full of disbelief, "There are ten pills in a furnace, Junior Sister, don't try to fool me."
After saying that, he snatched her bag and saw that there was only a few tattered books and a black pill inside.
"A senior sister took it and was so kind as to give me one."
Zhao Jinfan stared at her, as if trying to discern the truth in her words. Seeing that she also looked annoyed, he probably finally believed it.
He took away her pills and rubbed her head vigorously, "You look so pitiful."
"Why don't you just stop staying in the dining hall and hang out with Senior Brother. He will protect you from now on."
Li Yiru's mouth twitched. Could it be that this bastard also fell in love with her? Suddenly, she thought of the unreliable Li Yitian and felt uncomfortable and nauseous all over.
"I'm not good at cultivation, but I can still get some food and drink in the dining hall. Brother, please spare me."
After saying that, he sighed, "Brother, I'm leaving first?"
He didn't say anything, but instead picked up the pill and looked at it. Li Yirou turned around to run, but heard him say, "Wait."
"I really have nothing left!" She explained hurriedly and ran away again. However, she only ran five or six steps before he grabbed her wrist from behind.
Zhao Jinfan pulled her back, pinched her sleeves, searched her pockets, and stared at her belly up and down.
"Did I tell you? How can you be so shameless!" Who would hide something in their crotch? He was probably trying to take advantage of her. Li Yiru was furious, but then she remembered that she couldn't beat him, so she broke free from his hand and ran away.
Zhao Jinfan's face turned red after being scolded, but he smiled inexplicably when he saw her back, and did not chase her anymore.
Damn, Li Yirou was cursing all the way. The bastard had some dirty thoughts, but he just thought it was fun at the moment, and because he saw that she was small, he let her go. What should I do?
Why can't she escape his pursuit every time? She clearly sees that there is no one on the road.
She tried to recall that after seeing Zhao Jinfan, she turned and ran, made a turn and slipped into the space, and after coming out, she ran a few more steps before he caught up with her.
If I could create some distance, maybe I could get rid of him.
